StreamLine Posted January 14, 2004 Report Share Posted January 14, 2004 ultimately the OFR is more reliable and customizable, it simply works better - can be used wih pretty much any string gauge and more room for adjusting intonation You havent set up many 10's or 11's on floyds have you!! I know a few VERY reputable repairers that simply refuse to fit anything heavier than 9-42 onto ANY floyd. no sir, i shred with 10-46 tuned to concert pitch. needless to say, i do all setups on my guitars myself, and i have 1 strung up with 10's and another with 11's. the gauge change was a biscuit, but no big deal Roman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westhemann Posted January 15, 2004 Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 i have never heard of reliability issues with the flatmount.i think the design is much more ingenious.i have NEVER heard of problems with roller saddles on any bridge.i think that is the way to go.

Hmm... do the floyd pro's have that mounting plate? I know I wrecked the wood around a OFR with 12's (lag screws in poplar body.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krazyderek Posted January 15, 2004 Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 nope, just the posts that came with the bridge, i'm tuned down to C though, but that doesn't affect the matter that floyd's have the intonation range capable of supporting larger guage strings.

jbkim Posted January 15, 2004 Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 Ah, tuning to C would make a big difference . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not referring to intonation range. Im talking about broken and compressed wood around the studs, worn knife edges AND screws, stripped out claw screws, less friendly bar movement, etc etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canuckguitarist Posted January 18, 2004 Report Share Posted January 18, 2004 Here's a pretty cheap kahler-ed guitar... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elton Posted January 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2004 oh wow i think my shop teacher will let me powder coat this kahler... that would be da shiznit. but how would i go about doing it. do i have to powder coat the thing as a whole or take parts from it and powder coat each seperatly. or should i just go with my black chrome kit idea... cause this powercoat might cost me nothing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
